If you are a first year student, you will be assigned based on your date of application, Living Learning Community preference, COR class, and the date you enroll in classes. It is vital that you register for an Advising and Course Selection (ACS) session as soon as possible so that we may assign you to housing in a timely manner. Consult the Orientation page for advising and course registration information.

Returning and international students are not required to pay the housing deposit.

Returning campus residents currently living on campus will need to complete this contract and also participate in the annual Room Selection process in March to select a room for fall 2017/spring 2018. Students who missed this process may still submit a housing application/contract.

Russell Scholars Program requires an additional application to the program. If you request this as a choice for Living Learning Community on the housing application, please be sure to apply to the program, too!

Please contact the Disability Services Center at 207-780-4706 or dsc-usm@maine.edu if you require disability-based housing accommodations. The earliest possible communication is particularly helpful in requests for specific room assignments or modifications. Information and detailed guidelines can be found at http://usm.maine.edu/dsc/housing-accommodations.

Housing assignments will be mailed July 2017. New spring 2018 housing assignments will be mailed December 2017.
